I can’t attend the march because I use a walker and have sever COPD. I want my voice to be heard.

I am joining this virtual march because my spouse fractured and dislocated her ankle and her caregiver quit with no notice. I am unable to attend the March in person as planned because she is bedridden and in pain at this point and I need to care for her. I had planned to represent us…

I am marching because disability and women’s rights are civil rights. I am marching because healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
